Several hundred protesters marched through the streets of Hong Kong yesterday
to demand the release of Liu Xiaobo, the jailed Nobel Peace Prize winner.

The demonstration marked the start of a week of actions in support of Mr Liu.
He will be the first Nobel Peace Prize winner since German Carl von
Ossietzky was prevented by the Nazis from attending in 1936 to be unable
even to send a representative to pick up his award. His wife is under house
arrest and his brothers are under surveillance.
